Patience, Patience

Interesting post here relating the comments of Pirates manager Lloyd McClendon on plate discipline.

To that end here are the rankings in 2004 listing the most patient to the least patient teams in terms of pitches per plate appearance. For Cubs fans it's not surprising that they're towards the bottom. Boston and Oakland towards the top are also not surprising.
